I think that students should learn about Hannibal because he was very wise. Who else back in about 200BC would think to fight with elephants?I think that was completely genius. Him, his life, and fighting career will inspire kids to think outside the box just like he did. It will teach kids to be more risky like if they were playing a game or if they get a job and have to make a choice.
